A Morphometric Analysis for the Feasibility of Percutaneous Translacerum Access of the Internal Carotid Artery Based on CT Angiography

The increasing frequency of elderly patients with severe tortuosity, especially, when combined with fibromuscular dysplasia, can make intracranial canalization severely difficult or impossible. CT angiograms were analyzed to determine the feasibility of accessing the internal carotid artery via a percutaneous translacerum approach.
